I can get the alternator off its housing, but removing it from the engine area itself without removing another part is almost impossible! Is there a trick that anyone knows or is there one part that is easily removed and put back in order to make a gap big enough to pull the alternator out of?
Thanks,
Katie

the alt is on your fan belt but not sure if it's top or bottom of your engine if it's the top then you might be able to loosen your belt tensioner remove the belt and unbolt the alt, mark all wires both on car and old alt, it really helps when refitting the new 1. then reversing the process to fit the new alt. if it's bottom of your engine then you might need to lift the engine, a lot of work.

I have not seen this vehicle but, the center bolt or nut that holds the tensioner to the block is backed off two turns first.
Then the adustment bolt (most are accesed from under the vehicle) can be adjusted to give enough slack to install the new belt.
If this is still too tight, remove one of the two or two of the three bolts that mount the Alternator to allow for another 1/8" and install the belt.
Then remount the Alternator.
Then readjust the tension bolt.
Finish with the bolt or nut that mounts the tensionor to the block.
good luck.

The alternator is held in place by two bolts.
Top and bottom bolts - 12 mill bolts.
By loosening the bolts (especially the top bolt) you will find that the alternator can be manipulated forward and backwards along its housing (guides). Once the belt has loosened you can slip it off and replace the belt as required.
To tighten the alternator belts all you need to do is push the alternator away from the front of the engine and tighten the belt as required.
Once the belt is taut tighten the 2 bolts and you are away.

hi, in the american database for alldata, there is no lancer in 1990, if your engine is dohc, or sohc though, i checked 2.0 and 1.8, both are 1.0mm - 1.1mm gap. shouldn't be any problem running at these gaps, most every mitsubishi engine runs at this spark plug gap.

Check all ground connections, body to motor ground strap, battery to motor and body ground. Also change fuel filter if it has not been changed within 50,000 miles.
